Adventures in May

We've been busy this month!

Here is a picture of Avery's class at their end of the year preschool performance. Those are squirrel-ear hats in case you can't tell =)

On May 7, Dave and I left this kids in Cleveland with Scott & Carla and went down to Atlanta for Alison Lake's wedding. She was one of the three urology residents in Dave's class at Michigan, so we were so excited for her to find her soulmate, get married, and have a good excuse for us to catch up with dear friends. The girls did great with GG and Papa, we so appreciate having the night to ourselves!

Our friend that now practices in Richmond, VA, Tim Bradford.


Raneen, Alison, and Me =) Miss these girls!

Bradford with Dave, Alison, & Ryan (the three residents who were the same year)

The next weekend, Dave was at a conference, but Avery, Nancy, & I went over to Lebanon, TN for Dave's cousin Blake's wedding. We had lots of fun... Avery was thrilled with herself in a "fancy" dress, and danced the night away.

Avery with her new best friend, the flower girl, Jill =)

cute idea- they had a photo booth!

great big-girl night with my sweetheart! When we got in the car, Avery told us that she has NEVER had as much fun as she had that night =)


Ok, I see some serious bug collections in our future- my girls are obsessed with cicadas! They LOVE them. Notice Avery's serious face, same face she used with the cutie baby duck. Gross! Every day she c;ollects them and makes them little homes in bowls or cups with grass and flowers for food. Ha!
 Lucy loves them too! I have a funny video of them that I need to upload. My children have no fear of anything!

After a bit of a stomach bug, Lucy gets her appetite back chowing down on her favorite food in the world, beans! Love that face!

Oh, and this was in April, but here are some pictures from Kristopher & Jessica Kimball's Dogwood Formal party in Knoxville. My parents watched a croupy-cough Lucy here at our house and the Carmon's had Avery so we could spend a wonderful child-free day with our dear friends from medical school. So thankful to be living close enough to these folks to see them for super fun events like these! It was a wear-your-hat-and-seersucker dress up type party =)


The Kimballs, the Crooks, the McKinneys, and us. LOVE this crew!!
